What will they come up with next? Mushroom cocktails - they don't exactly sound appetizing.
However they're all the rage in downtown Dallas of late. Truffle Pig is the name of one of the cocktails - DeLeon tequila with lemon juice, a honey simple syrup infused with chanterelle mushrooms that have been powdered with liquid nitrogen, and seared and raw maitake mushrooms. The finishing touch — a huge shiitake garnish.
The creator was trying to make a "Umami Bomb".
Stalker ain't sure about the demand for such creations in this neck of the woods, but it sure would be interesting to try one out - maybe even worth a trip to Texas.
